Youth of Unity (YOU)
We, the Youth of Unity (YOU), are powerful, unique beings of light, facilitating self-growth and spirituality through sacred connection, oneness, self-love, and open-mindedness. We provoke wonder and encourage exploration outside our comfort zones.
How do I get involved?
Any Unity church or study group affiliated with Unity Worldwide Ministries may facilitate an active YOU group.
A YOU group typically meets on a weekly basis, usually Sunday morning. Youth discuss and learn a variety of spiritual teachings, attend social gatherings, and become involved in their church and community. Officers, or a leadership team, are often elected to help plan for the local group.
What is an active YOU group?
An active YOU group:
· Is under the direction of a recognized Unity member ministry of Unity Worldwide Ministries
· Is active in their regional YOU
· Includes one or more teens ranging from the ages of 14 through 19 (grades 9–12) years of age and at least one adult sponsor
Annual Legacy Rally
Every summer, USCR hosts the YOU Legacy Rally each year in June. Legacy is a five-day long spiritually oriented program designed to provide meaningful experiences, as well as creative expressions and fellowship.

Meet the 2025 USCR Regis
Regional representatives, “regis,” are teens elected each year at their region’s official rally. They plan and lead at least two rallies a year, as well as attend and offer their support to other events held during the year. Regis work closely with their regional consultant.
Beck Brashers
Unity of Springfield
Hello! My name is Beck Brashers and I’ve been attending Unity of Springfield for fourteen years. I’m currently a junior in high school and, outside of spending time at Unity, I am extremely involved in my high school band, and outside music activities such as the Springfield Youth Symphony. I even perform at Unity front time-to-time.
I attended my first rally three years ago, and ever since that very first one, I've wanted to be a Regi. I am so thankful and happy to have finally achieved my goal. I'm very excited to share rally with more people who will love it as much as I do!
Martina Ciacci
Unity Church of the Hills
Hi! My name is Martina Ciacci. I am from Austin, Texas and I have been attending Unity Church of the Hills for the past twelve years! I am a junior in high school and have been enjoying Unity every Sunday since I was in kindergarten. Outside of school I enjoy being a part of color guard and marching band, playing the piano, scouts, girl scouts, spending time with loved ones, and being with my Unity family.
I remember walking into my first rally feeling scared, then coming out of rally with my life completely changed for the better. Since then, I’ve tried to do the most that I can for my Unity community and this year I am so happy to have the honor of being a Regi for the South Central Region!
Stryder Jones
Unity of Boulder
Hello! My name is Stryder Jones. I'm from Boulder, Colorado and I've been going to Unity of Boulder since before I can remember. I am a musician and visual artist, which simply means I express myself in any way I can. I feel most like myself when I'm absolutely goofing out. To me goofing out means…dancing to my favorite music while riding my bike, acting like unusual characters I make up, and making weird faces. Most times I will not be goofing out because…well…I'm trying to be chill and stuff. Long story short If you like to goof out come see me and we can goof to the moon!
I am very grateful to be given the opportunity to give back to this community by creating the 2025 Legacy Rally with my fellow Regis. I truly believe rally is a peak life experience that no one could ever forget, and being able to continue this legacy of healing is magical to me. Rally taught me that love is not something we must find but is something we can receive anytime and that realization has opened my heart and mind greatly.
Juliet Meldner
Unity of San Antonio
Hey! My name is Juliet Meldner and I'm from San Antonio, Texas, in Unity’s South Central Region. I am a senior in high school this year. I was brought to Unity by my two closest friends and found spirituality that I understood and deeply connected with. I have attended Unity Church of San Antonio for about three years and have had limitless opportunities to develop spiritually thanks to my Unity family.
I attended my first YOU rally last summer and had one of the greatest satisfying spiritual experiences of my life, provided by three amazing Regis put in my path by my higher power. I couldn't be more grateful for them and my four inspiring co-Regis! At this year's 2025 Legacy Rally, I hope to provide and share the same spiritual understanding and acceptance that I received with other YOUers!
